Do you take vitamin-G?

March24th,2014

No, that’s not a typo… ; )

I just devoted an entire weekly module in my S.T.E.P.S. Inner Circle to the topic of Earthing, and I really wanted to share this with you.

Did you know that the simple act of touching the earth can be a healing experience?

The earth is literally buzzing with electrons that have the power to bathe your cells in EXACTLY what they need for thriving health.

Not only do electrons (or “vitamin-G” for Ground) have the power to activate antioxidants, they also reduce inflammation throughout your body – and they do this with more potency than any herb, superfood, supplement, or medication.

The earth is truly a “vitamin” that your body craves. Somewhat similar to the sun, whereby the earth provides anti-inflammatory electrons and the sun provides the immune-boosting hormone, vitamin D.

Jewish tradition teaches that NOTHING is by chance, and G-d created the cure before the disease. Along these lines, we now know that the “cure” for our modern epidemics of inflammatory chronic diseases and autoimmune dysfunction is right in our backyard!

The CURE is so simple. It’s so easy. And it’s absolutely *F*R*E*E. It’s Earthing.

All it takes to give your body the gift of an “electron bath” is a good solid 30 minutes of barefoot walking, sitting, or picnicking on the grass in the backyard, a sandy beach, or at your local park.

Yes, “vitamin-G” is absolutely *F*R*E*E and studies show that the more direct contact your body receives from the earth, the lower your cortisol (stress hormone) levels will be, the more balanced your endocrine system, and the less inflammation and pain you’ll suffer from.

Remember, inflammation causes nearly EVERY one of the common chronic diseases and autoimmune disorders plaguing our modern world.

Miriam, I am so on the same wave length with you. I’ve always known this about connecting with the earth in that way, beginning when I was a child playing “mud pancakes.” In 1994, I went in for an MRI and then had a strange reaction: feeling how earth was being smothered by concrete. It was very visceral. In 1999, when I had a breakdown I would go outside and lay on the ground in the grass and pour my tears out to the earth. I experienced healing from that one act alone, and then began to teach others of the value of getting their shoes off and connecting to earth for healing. Then, during my studies at school, I took an EcoSpirituality course, studying this in-depth. I only found out about the Earthing movement within the last couple of years. I think we all have this inner knowing of the value of connecting with earth.

This is cool, Miriam. As I’m reading it, I actually crave the sensation of getting my fingers in some dirt (weird, but true). I happen to be 1 of the worst green thumbs around, but when I do make the decision to try once again plant something (and my whole family takes pity on whatever plant I’ve purchased because of it’s inevitable doom), I thoroughly enjoy getting my hands in dirt. And now I know why!!!

I am so blessed to live in Central Queensland, where we can enjoy the beach all year round. I love walking barefoot on the beach – and it’s good to know that I’m doing my body such a favour. Lovely post, Miriam. :)

Miriam, this is so cool, I never thought of it this way! No wonder we’re all so cranky here in New England all winter… We do get a fair amount of sunshine but that contact with the ground only happens, oh, June through September. Now I understand even more why I’m so happy in the summertime!!!

Now I just need to find more ways to connect and be happy during the colder months…

I wondered why I always feel so revived and refreshed after walking on the beach. As a child we were barefoot in the summer more than not. I’m not waiting for summer. You’ve inspired me to get outside, whenever possible, and reconnect, reground and regain my healthy self. Thank you Miriam.

I think this is such an important reminder, and it goes along with that other sunshine vitamin- D, which, living in the Midwest, it’s hard to get enough outside time without being rained on, wind-whipped or frozen to death.

I struggle with immune problems, so this is a huge important issue for me. Thanks for bringing it up.
